Silent Gliss are delighted to present their new , elegant Metropole curtain pole range which eschews the notion that products cannot perform as well as they look .

METROPOLE

FROM SILENT GLISS

Uncompromising in bringing together precision engineering with considered product design , a unique connection system allows the finials ‘ emerge ’ from the pole with pole in a seamless , continuous form . The fluted design complements a range of architectural interiors . No longer a pastiche of the finial as a ‘ curtain-stopper ’, these offer an aesthetic fit for 21st century homes
The perfectly understated Taper and the striking Ellipse finials lend themselves to contemporary settings . The classic Ball and Spear finials have been redesigned with sleek lines that nods to the past , creating a union with period homes .
In addition , a new Fillet Bracket mirrors the tapered lines of the finials , elegantly fusing with the pole as a natural extension of the system .
But what differentiates Metropole from traditional curtain poles ? The precision engineered profile contains unique twocomponent gliders that avoid the need for curtain rings – giving the appearance of a pole but the ease and usability you ’ d expect from a Silent Gliss track .
Metropole - available in 4 shapes and sizes and up to 15 colours – continues to ensure customers are spoilt for choice . Whether hand , cord or electrically operated , straight , or curved , Metropole makes a defining design statement to any window .
